Ahhh thanks. Good to know that I didnt blow my NDA. You had me worried. I guess sending you a copy wouldnt work with an NDA attached to it. I forgot about the credits.

As for the swedish, I think it was a requirement on Dom1. Highly recommended on Dom2. And probably just a nicety on your beta-tester resume for Dom3.

As for the english, I would think there should be a preference for "schooled english" over americanese. At elast for this gme altho some other games being tested here might be better with americanese.

Enfoperez, correcting things to either UK English or US English can be done by anyone with sufficient fluency as long as they are consistent, actually. That was the area where I offered help, weeding out typos, since there's a metric crapton of text in Dom3 and typos are bound to slip in. Espeically if the pretender titles or anything else are in lis type text files, those would be easy to go through, and more proofreaders than just one make for less typos and a more finished product, because they'll catch mistakes the other missed.

It'd be cool to not need another sticky thread for Dominions 3 typos, like we have for Dom2.

Anyone seen Space Rangers 2's manual? They offer the best cop out line for mistranslation and spelling mistakes ever - something along the lines of "although the language may appear English, it's actually a future dialect chosen specifically to assist in inter race translation, therefore you may find some strange words or use of language".
Should be placed in every game manual - "Although the language appears English, it is actually an ancient dialect of Ulm. Therefore, you may find some strange words and spellings in the text...."
